payment methodology for Part B
covered drugs that are not paid on a cost
or prospective payment basis. In
particular, section 303(d) of the MMA
amends Title XVIII of the Social
Security Act by adding a new section
1847(B), which establishes a
competitive acquisition program for the
acquisition of and payment for Part B
covered drugs and biologicals furnished
on or after January 1, 2006. Since its
inception, additional legislation has
augmented the CAP. Section 108 of the
Medicare Improvements and Extension
Act under Division B, Title I of the Tax
Relief Health Care Act of 2006 (MIEA–
TRHCA) amended section 1847b(a)(3) of
the Social Security Act and requires that
CAP implement a post payment review
process. This procedure is done to
assure that payment is made for a drug
or biological under this section only if
the drug or biological has been
administered to a beneficiary. Form

3. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Evaluation of
the Medical Adult Day Care Services
Demonstration; Use: Section 703 of the
Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement and Modernization Act of
2003 (Pub. L. 108–173) authorizes a
three-year demonstration to conduct an
evaluation of the clinical and costeffectiveness of providing medical adult
day-care services as a substitute for a
portion of home health services that
would otherwise be provided in the
beneficiary’s home. Delivering home
health services in the adult day-care
setting represents an expansion of
coverage under the home health benefit
under Medicare. The Demonstration
aims to evaluate both the costs and the
benefits of delivering home health
services in the adult day-care setting.
The evaluation will examine the
achievements as well as the difficulties
inherent in demonstration
implementation.
Telephone survey data from Medicare
beneficiary’s interviews are to be
completed during Phase II of the
Evaluation of the Medical Adult DayCare Services Demonstration. The
survey was developed based on
collection of data from face-to-face
interviews with beneficiaries from
Phase I of the Demonstration evaluation.

Proposed Project:
Title: Building Strong Families (BSF)
Demonstration and Evaluation—Impact
Study Second Follow-up
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is proposing a data
collection activity as part of the
Building Strong Families (BSF)
Demonstration and Evaluation. The
proposed collection will consist of two
elements: (1) A telephone survey to be
administered to both partners in couples
enrolled in the BSF research sample
about 36 months after enrollment, and
(2) observational assessments of BSF
families and their children.
These data collections are part of the
BSF evaluation, which is an important
opportunity to learn if well-designed
interventions can help low-income
couples develop the knowledge and
relationship skills that research has
shown are associated with healthy
marriages. BSF programs provide
instruction and support to improve
marriage and relationship skills and
enhance couples’ understanding of
marriage. In addition, BSF programs
provide links to a variety of other
services that could help couples sustain
a healthy relationship (e.g., employment
assistance). The BSF evaluation uses an
experimental design that randomly
assigns couples who volunteer to
participate in BSF programs to a
program or to a control group.
The 36-month data collection effort
draws heavily from the 15-month survey
conducted in BSF sites. Materials for the
15-month data collection effort were
previously submitted to OMB and were
approved under OMB Control No. 0970–
0304.
Respondents: The respondents for the
telephone questionnaire will be all
couples in the BSF evaluation. The
respondents for the observational
assessments will be a sub-sample of
children of the couples.
